Heston's Feasts starts tonight. . .

[bouncer_the_dog]

Injecting fried insects with mayonnaise ... genius!

 

[ringo]

That was fantastic, the watch/teabag was genius and beautiful. Probably tasted pretty good too.

I've got ratarsed on absinthe in Prague and it doesn't surprise me at all that he would say something completely insane in an apparently lucid way and then finish a link with apparently no problems.

I went out with a girl I met during a night of Absinthe drinking (I rubbed her back while she was sick in the street ) - not the wisest move, she ended up getting sent down for a year some months later for bottling someone in a nightclub

I find the man a pretentious twat.Why can't he cook real food ffs ? I bet those people were poisoned by some chemical or other that he used.

 

[tarannau]

You didn't actually watch the programme last night, did you Skunkboy?

But you're right, he should clearly stick to making real food, like saline-injected chicken nuggets, vegetable protein made out of a fungus and weirdo chorleywood process bread. How dare he use a bit of technology for posh food rather than everyday supermarket stuff.

Yay - I heart Heston. you've got to love a man named after a service station

Charnock Richard?

SB, did you see the show last night? After the behaviour of Heston's crew on that Little Chef makeover programme, I was looking to dislike this.

The whole 'maverick' chef thing made me roll my eyes; I too couldnt see the point in his cooking stuff that couldnt be reproduced and moreover, were never intended to be reproduced.

This was the first time I actually saw the point- to inspire, to decadently feed ALL the senses, to push limits... It was genius.

Telly is full of boring nobs making boring food that you can make at boring home. Just watch James Boring Martin if that's your thing.

What a great programme, it made me gasp and it made me giggle.
Thoroughly entertaining, can't wait for the next one.

i'm pretty sure he can,but he can also cook more advanced things as well.thats not being pretentious,its being talented.

Indeed. As well as owning the loony-tune Fat Duck, he also has an interest in The Hind's Head, which serves much more traditional fare (although it benefits from the research done in the Mad Professor's Laboratory, of course).

Have eaten at The Hind's Head twice and it is wonderful - excellent traditional British food like Pea and Ham Soup, Chicken and Ham Pie and Eccles Cakes plus a great range of local beers at the bar.

Plus you can stare out the window at the Fat Duck which is more or less across the road.

Also Dominc Chapman, who was chef at the Hinds Head, is now at the Royal Oak in Paley Street

where he continues the tradition of good British influenced cooking

Have last night's programme recorded on the digibox so will hopefully watch it later

The oxtail pudding is a particular stunner.

[trashpony]

Do it trashy

I definitely will - was too tired to watch last night and I have downloaded it but I'm going to bed now so will watch tomorrow. I think that post above must count in my top 10 most dull posts

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Watched this yesterday - fantastic! I want a mock turtle soup pocket watch!!

 

[PacificOcean]

I don't want to watch it as ikky stuff makes me wretch.

But I am curious about his ejaculating pudding on the trailer.

What was it and what made it shoot?

Maybe it's just Norovirus which is hardly his fault. There's a lot of it going about at the moment
